Ten Bad Hair Days

1 Mary Queen of Scots was bald, a secret she hid from even her closest acquaintances with a thick auburn wig. The fact that Mary was follically challenged became horribly clear on the day of her execution. The executioner picked up her decapitated head by the hair to show it to the crowd and her wig came away in his hand.

2 In 1993, a twenty-two-year-old Dutchman went on a rampage that caused $60,000 damage to a barbershop in Hengelo. He was upset because the barber had overdone his request for “a slight trim.”

3 In 1994, hundreds of Uruguayans sued a local shampoo manufacturer after using the patent dandruff treatment Dander-Ban. Within hours of using the shampoo they all became completely bald.

4 In March 1983, Danish hair-fetishist Luigi Longhi was jailed for life after he was found guilty of kidnapping and murdering a female German hitchhiker. Longhi admitted he’d washed her hair four times before strangling her.

5 In 1966, Michael Potkul won a $400,000 malpractice award against surgeon Dominic Brandy in Pittsburgh after Brandy promised Potkul a new head of hair. He achieved this by grabbing the hairy scalp at the back of Potkul’s head and stretching it over the bald bit on top. Potkul became depressed after six unsuccessful operations to correct the problem and attempted suicide.

6 The composer Gioacchino Rossini suffered from alopecia in his later years, which made him completely bald. He took to wearing a wig; in exceptionally cold weather, however, he wore two or three wigs simultaneously.

7 In 1994, Ernestine and John Kujan sued the New York dog-grooming salon Pet Pavilion after watching their cocker spaniel Sandy accidentally bake to death in an automatic blow dryer.

8 In 1996, California hairdresser Joseph Middleton was sentenced to sixty days of community service. Middleton had masturbated with his free hand while doing a female customer’s hair. At his trial, the court heard that he had been able to finish both jobs because the customer was too frightened to object.

9 The Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha banned beards and long hair, even on visiting foreigners. Albanian border barbers were employed to snip excess hair from all foreigners entering the country; the degree of hairiness was then noted in police files.

10 Henry Ford always washed his hair in water containing rusty razor blades, in the belief that rusty water was a hair restorer.
